When the Wolverines have the ball: Multiple offensive sets. … Scored 301 points (23.2 ppg.) in 2011. … Mazzeo returns at quarterback after starting most of the season as a sophomore. … Wilson came in at quarterback down the stretch and helped the Wolverines win a Super Bowl, but will move back to receiver this year. … Kenneway leads a strong backfield. Roderick, Hinton and Levins will also get touches. … Bonnor, Padini and Mauro join Wilson as receivers.

When their opponents have the ball: 3-5 defense. … Allowed 219 points (16.8 ppg.) in 2011. … Linebackers are dominating with return of Kenneway, Dupont and Levins. … Wilson is back on the end. … Rodrick, Hinton and Bonner lead the secondary.

In the trenches: Matthews (6-2, 240), a basketball player, has looked strong in his first season playing football. … Dupont, Tarantino, Powell and George will lead a line that lost a lot of players.

One to watch: Mazzeo was enjoying a solid season at quarterback until an injury ended his season. Now that he’s back healthy, expect him to pick up where he left off.
